About this app

Orion Store is an Android-first store client that leans on public sources instead of hiding everything behind a private service layer. The app pulls catalog data from public JSON, resolves releases from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, and keeps the delivery path understandable enough that users can see where things come from and how updates are discovered.

What makes Orion different ✨

The point of Orion is not to pretend infrastructure does not exist. It is to reduce hidden infrastructure and move as much of the important behavior as possible into public, inspectable layers. Catalog entries are plain data. Release sources stay visible. Automation is handled through workflows and workers that can be reviewed, rather than through a black-box backend that users have to trust on faith.

That design carries through the app. Orion tracks installed packages, surfaces updates, manages download state, supports install flows on Android, and exposes developer-facing diagnostics for people who want to see what the store is actually doing under the hood.

Source support 📡

Orion treats multiple upstream platforms as first-class citizens, which matters because app distribution should not depend on a single forge being the only path worth supporting.

- GitHub is the primary release path and the center of most automation. - GitLab is supported for repository metadata and raw release sourcing. - Codeberg is supported as a real upstream, not a decorative fallback.

What's new

v2.0.0Oct 13, 2026

Orion Store 2.0.0 · Orion-RE: Native at Last 🚀
Orion Store has been rebuilt from the ground up as a fully native Android app. The web app you knew has been rewritten in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with a brand new engine, a brand new design language and a long list of features that were never possible before.
Same Orion. Brand new engine.
Updating from 1.x? Just install 2.0.0 over your current Orion Store. It updates in place, and your profile, XP, badges, favorites and settings come along automatically.
🧬 The New Engine
100% Native: No web view in sight. Orion now runs on Kotlin + Jetpack Compose in a single-activity architecture, so scrolling, launching and navigating feel instant.
Material 3 Expressive: Orion is one of the first stores built on Google's newest design system: expressive spring motion, shape morphing, emphasized typography, wavy progress indicators, the new loading indicator and connected button groups.
Native Networking: A rewritten catalog engine on OkHttp 5 with mirrors and smart caching, so the store loads fast and keeps working on weak connections.
Native Images: Coil 3 image pipeline with disk caching and screenshot prefetching, so detail pages paint from cache instead of the network.
Native Downloads: A foreground download engine with live progress notifications, a persistent queue and downloads that survive app restarts.
Lighter and Smoother: Edge-to-edge layout, high refresh rate support and a dedicated motion system tuned to feel natural on every device.
🎬 Motion & Feel
Expressive Springs Everywhere: Every movement, resize and corner change rides a physics-based spring. Colors and fades use calm, non-bouncy curves.
Icon Hand-Off: Tap an app and its icon flies from the card into the detail page, then flies back when you return.
